Children’s Moral Power Can Challenge Corporate Power on Climate Crisis

The children led the civil rights marches in Birmingham Alabama because their parents could not walk off the low-wage jobs. Today children are leading environmental marches because their parents are trapped by their own mental models. They cannot imagine a world without the convenience of cars, a world where energy does not come from fossil fuels, and a world where the government regulations for clean air and clean water have teeth. We should listen to their voices of idealism.
